    aTunes

    Sometimes I visit sourceforge to see what new projects are there and which ones are popular. My aim is to get cross-platform programs that run on Linux and Win XP... Today I downloaded aTunes and my oh my! was I impressed or what?

    Thus far I have seen many, many media players but I absolutely loved aTunes. What's your favorite media player? (If a moderator could help me setting up a poll and moving this post to a new thread I would be gratefull)

    It looks kinda interesting. Is it java based? It reminds me a lot of Amarok in its layout and right down to the Audioscrobbler support. I might give it a look later. What's the CD ripping functionality like?

    It is java based. My CD player/burner is broken so I couldn't tell (I need to install a new CD player/burner... Got the part from Dell but I haven't done it )

    Linux: VLC player
    Windows: Foobar 2000

    Both are small, easy, simple.

    My favorite media player is Muine. It is simple and doesn't have an iTunes type interface that I hate.

    aTunes looks really good, I have not tried it yet however. What I use is Songbird (Created by some of the Winamp folks and other people). Cross platform and based on the Firefox engine.
